Harambe Market

Africa, Disney's Animal Kingdom

Built around a Colonial-era train depot design complete with a 1960s water tower, Harambe Market invites Disney guests to sample true flavors of Africa. Four themed shops offer fresh meals, snacks and beverages like those found in an African street market.

Harambe Market is an amazingly immersive environment. The authenticity is there, and it transports you to another place. Hard to believe it is brand new - the theming work is wonderful. The food is good, reminds me of Food and Wine Festival at Epcot, but with larger portions. The only problem is the place gets extremely crowded. There are lines at each of the windows, and then there are problems getting a seat. Like a lot of Disney's Animal Kingdom, the place is wonderful when it is not busy, but a crowded mess when it's busy. My tip, eat here off-peak and you'll enjoy it.
